A New to Me kind of Applique

At Applique by the Bay, I took a class with Emily Martin and learned about applique on Pelon. She taught us the back basing technique that I had never done. After trying it, I found that even though it was slow going, I really liked working that way. The cardinal was the first thing I tried and I was pleased with the results. After that, I started the rose. I have put that block aside to work on gifts for Ellen's baby shower. I'll be showing those gifts after April 7th, the date of the shower.

  1. Very pretty Gita! Working on Pelon on sounds different.

  2. This is so beautiful! Looks like it will fly off the fabric.

  3. I love the back basting technique and I think it is worth the little extra time it takes to baste - then everything is perfectly placed. Love the cardinal - I hope you do a female too - they are even prettier!
